“Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing,where something might be planted,a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.”

Yoga shows us the impermanence of everything. We watch as our bodies change—the day-to-day fluctuations; the steady transformation over the years as we get stronger, as we get older. We learn to accept that nothing is permanent, that each practice will be different. We learn to let go of preconceived ideas of what we can or cannot do. We welcome every possibility.Length : 2 days, 1 nights

About the Retreat:

“WE ARE the creators of the seeds that we have planted in the past — whether they were happiness, comfort, abundance, prosperity, family, children, ideas, or even thoughts — that are giving birth into our world. Feel the arms of Mother Earth's beauty reaching out to you and be patient as you watch your seeds take root and grow. Nurture them as they become strong and healthy. Open yourself to the life force of the Universe as you nurture yourself, and infuse your soul with love and compassion from the loving space of your heart center. By doing so, soon others will see and feel your devotion. This benevolent energy that resides there will assist you in making sacrifices in order to care for and grow, and help others, as well as yourself.” ― Angie Karan KrezosTwo days, let the whole family embrace each other in togetherness;With the refreshing out in the nature, let's grow our seeds of love, caring, warmth & awareness,isn't it Yoga as to life itself...
